More quotes by Vance Havner

Vance Havner
The same church members who yell like Comanche Indians at a ball game on Saturday sit like wooden Indians in church on Sunday.
Vance Havner

Vance Havner
It is only the life that is lost for Him that is found in Him.
Vance Havner
If I had only one sermon to preach it would be on the Lordship of Christ. When we get right on that point we are right all down the line. God honors the exaltation of His Son.

Vance Havner
The primary qualification for a missionary is not love for souls, as we so often hear, but love for Christ.
Vance Havner
The devil will let a preacher prepare a sermon if it will keep him from preparing himself.
Vance Havner
There was a time when ministers spoke forthrightly and named things. We don't name anything anymore. Finney had a sermon on How to Preach so as to Convert Nobody. He said 'Preach on sin but never mention any of the sins of your congregation - that will do it.'
Vance Havner
We need men of the cross, with the message of the cross, bearing the marks of the cross.
Vance Havner
The middle of the road is a poor place to walk. It is a poor place to drive. It is a poor place to live.
Vance Havner
Humility is not thinking meanly of oneself, but rather it means not thinking of oneself at all.
Vance Havner
To build character of purpose and integrity is our high mark, and that cannot be done in a world where there are no adverse elements.
